Victory or Death: The Roads to San Jacinto
Victory or Death! Everyone remembers the famous line of William Barret Travis’ call for aid before he and close to 200 other Texas rebels fell at the Alamo. It’s a phrase that has echoed down through the past to the present day as a cry of defiance. During the early months of 1836 it served as a warning. Victory had not come for the audacious young Travis who had been a firebrand in lighting the fires of the conflict. It had not come for Fannin and his men. Death had been served up to them and the way things were progressing it was death chasing at the heels of the Texas families flying towards the Sabine and for Houston and his army it was death or failure that hounded them as they withdrew. Only victory could save the cause. Victory or death hung in the balance and the needle was significantly pointing towards one more than the other.

Lesson 0-Part 1-The Texas Mystique
What is it that makes Texas special? Is Texas special? What has happened in the land that is Texas to create our present world? In this episode we begin exploring these ideas that make up the Texas mystique.
The goal of Lesson Zero is to serve as an introduction to Texas History Lessons. It’s like the first day of a Texas history class when the professor explains the goals and expectations of the class, except I am not a professor and instead of fitting it all into one class I will be taking my time to go over a lot of information in as much detail as possible.
The songs at the end are Devils River by Rosmand (Mando Salas), Magenta by Bo Bundy, Enough by Zach Welch, As It Changes by Seth Jones, Free by Jason Harrell, and Prayers to a Lesser God by Payton Matous.
